From original concept art (by @milkman.bsky.social) to finished, polished illustration (by @genkigamer.bsky.social), the nightlife yokai pub neon vibes of this year’s #yokai-themed artwork are quite catchy, don’t you think? Tickets are on sale for Japan’s biggest indie gaming event of the year!

I just finished the concept art for #BitSummit 2025 and am pretty stoked about it. Still mad the pandemic messed up our Greatest Nine baseball theme though. ⚾️
